Saab 95 Engine problems by year

I own a 2001 saab 95 se v6. Was driving down the nj tpk and the car lost power and had a small electrical like fire under the hood. Had to get the car towed from the nj turnpike off and then again to my place in bensalem pa. Total cost $77 + 66. Found out that the di cassette burned out, cost me approx $600 to fix. A day later the cat converter fails (check engine light came on again). This is certainly due to di cassette burning out. Very frustrating for a car with only 60k miles on it. *Nm

Another voice: common sudden failure of saab electronic throttle body causing immediate stall at speed, in traffic. No crash. Undriveable "limp home" mode. Necessitated long tow and expensive repair. This item cited frequently on saab-related websites, but got me today! Note that current recall is for a different part, equally safety-related. *Nm

Vehicle is experiencing problems with the engine. Currently, the engine seized. Owner contacted the dealer and the manufacturer, and neither is willing to assist the owner. *Ak

While driving at no set speed vehicle engine stalled. Dealership serviced vehicle 6 times, and technician could not duplicate the problem. *Ak

While driving at any speed the vehicles engine shut off. *Nlm

Consumer state while traveling at 30 mph without any indication vehicle stall consumer pull vehicle over and notice smoke coming from engine soon after engine was on fire in result of total lost of vehicle. Please provide further information. Ts

After bringing in to dearler many times for "engine light" and being told it was nothing I proceeded with maintenance.Due to late oil change dealer claims, after oil change, and complaint from me that there was a flutter sound in the system; they offer to repair for approx 3500 with no guarantee. My car is not abused and is new. After discussing with outside repair it seems this is a problem due to the oil used by saab. Apparently there are presently six other vehicles at outside repair shops changing oil...

Fuel tank is defective--fuel rushes to front of tank upon braking and thunks the entire vehicle. This stress on the fuel tank could pose a threat, such as a fuel explosion, in a crash. Problem exists when tank is 1/2 to 3/4 full. Saab is aware of the problem, and states that it is caused by compliance with ca emissions standards. No other manufacturers have had such problems in complying with ca emissions. I have spoken by the internet with over 10 other saab 9-5 owners who all report the same problem. This is a design defect, not an individual complaint. *Ak
